Is the Hurricane Lamp Boule Regular really hand-blown?

Yes. It is hand-blown in Bohemia, and the bubbles are created in a cast-iron mould. That process gives each piece its own optic pattern.

Can I use it as a vase?

Yes. It is designed to work as a vase as well as a hurricane lamp. The wide glass form holds stems well.

Not exactly. Because it is hand-blown, the bubble pattern and glass thickness vary slightly from piece to piece.

No candle is mentioned. The lamp is the glass piece itself, so you supply your own candle.

Yes. The cast-iron mould and thick hand-blown glass give it a weighty feel, which is part of its appeal.

Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, and dry gently. Avoid dishwashers and sudden temperature changes, which stress hand-blown glass.
